... up front on the LAX - SYD portion. With almost 14 hours of flying just from the West coast, you would feel the same way too! <br><br>If everything goes OK, we should be landing in SYD at 840AM on the morning of Friday, Nov. 20th. <br><br>We are all excited about our first trip DOWN UNDER! Vegemite for everyone!

... favorite supermarket, and declared that no one else could have the van until I had gone to Publix. I knew my purchases long before I passed through those clean gilded automatic doors. I made a beeline for the bakery and found a package of the delicious sugar cookies that I love. I only get them about once a year, when my mom is wonderful enough to bring some with her when she visits me, and so I knew I must procure some immediately. I then headed for the deli, where I ...

... is set on and around Stone Mountain. Stone Mountain is a giant mountain made of stone (surprise!) that you can walk up and on or take the skyrail. We compromised and took the skyrail up and walked down. From up top there are amazing views of Atlanta and the Georgian countryside.<br><br> The highlight of the day for us, and the main reason we came, was the Sky Hike adventure course. This ...

... goes the national motto of India. Or as Buddha put it "Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth." Truth is, I can't say that India 'changed' me in any in profound spiritual way. I didn't 'meet my guru', join a weird cult or even get converted by a Christian missionary but the experiences I had there did reinforce my relationship with the Everpresence (aka 'God ...

All good things must come to an end..., "they" say.<br>I guess so, but if you're lucky (or just an excellent planner)... more good things await you around the next corner.<br><br>I had a great trip. I met interesting people, saw amazing sights, ate delicious (and not so delicious) foods, and had many new experiences I will remember for the rest of my life. I'm sure there is so much more to say... but even after everything, it's still good to be home!<br><br> <br>

We got up, had breakfast at the hotel and drove to PDX to turn in the rental car. We had driven over 1500 miles in eight days. We got in line to go through security and I got separated from Dennis and Elizabeth. The TSA checked my bag and confiscated my jar of Huckleberry Honey. They said ...

Hey fans, I'm back in America!!! I have a concert in a few minutes, so I'm going to make this really really quick... <br>Thank you so much for reading my blog!!! It's really an honor!

... watch football. We got in time to play a much needed 9-holes of golf before the sun went down.<br><br>We split ways that night, and I met up with Becky and Andy, two childhood friends I only manage to see once every couple if years. They are both always happy and doing well and really fun to see only if once in a while. <br><br>While out to dinner was met ...

We waited on the runway fo about 45 minutes then we took off. Those new GPS screens showed we circled several times over the Carolinas before heading north again. We circled again in NY then the pilot said we did not have enough gas to continue circling so we detoured to Syracuse to refuel. We were able to make phone calls and at this time it looked like there was no way to catch my flight. By the time we took off it was too late. I cried!!!

... downpours, and tornado watches all day Saturday. Luckily, no more than that, and the good news was that a full day indoors provided plenty of opportunity for updating our Travelpod (and ALMOST beating Pat in an online Scrabble Game!) So, here we are on the road again - just driving through Atlanta, and on our way to our Thousand Trails Park in Natchez Trace, Tennessee - a couple of hours ...
